nut loaf

Meatless holiday centerpiece

Nut loaf is a vegetarian dish made from ground nuts, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, shaped into a loaf and baked.

It emerged as a meatless alternative to meat loaf, particularly popular among vegetarians and during holiday meals: She served nut loaf instead of turkey at Thanksgiving.

The dish has an earnest, health-food reputation that sometimes invites gentle mockery.
